The instrument combines the bass drum and snare into one drum and requires the drummer to stand while playing. The cocktail drum is an unusual contraption that came into being after World War II, when jazz reigned supreme and the big bands were giving way to smaller combos. Shortly thereafter, Bob Coscarelli added percussion when he joined on cocktail drum. The original group was made up of three guitarists, with Tom Schmitt playing lead and Palmiter and Bob Devitri playing rhythm. It started with Larry and his friends harmonizing on the doo wop hits of the day groups like the Del Vikings and in late 1957 he formed a band called The Echoes with two other Resurrection High students. By 1956, however, Palmiter had been bitten by the rock and roll bug and had started buying records by Haley, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, and Little Richard.Īlthough he was singing in the church choir, Palmiter really wanted to perform rock and roll music. His mother played the piano and had an extensive record collection. Larry developed an early interest in his mother’s big band records, and with a little help from mom, he began teaching himself to play piano and eventually guitar. There was also a great deal of music in Palmiter’s home. Klein taught him how to read music and also directed Parmiter in two Gilbert and Sullivan operettas at Resurrection, H.M.S. Klein taught Palmiter’s music appreciation classes in grades one through eight and in high school had him in choir. His music teacher for all of those twelve years was Ursula Klein and Palmiter credits her with being an important factor in his musical development. Palmiter attended Resurrection, one of Lansing’s larger Catholic schools, from grade school through high school. Initially called The Echoes, they would quickly evolve into a band of slicked-back rockabilly cats who would release a half-dozen singles on record labels of their own design predating the "do-it-yourself" mantra of 70's punk rock by almost twenty years. Inspired by the early recordings of Bill Haley And His Comets and others, Larry Palmiter formed a three-guitar unit with two of his classmates at Resurrection High School. Formed in late 1957 in the state capital of Lansing, the group will celebrate its 60th anniversary as a performing unit in 2017. there's just to many bands to list.The Blue Echoes are one of Michigan’s longest-lasting rock and roll bands.
